speed, 25 knots cruise. A Japanese Zen master was consulted for the interior

a staircase on the main deck. B: Baglietto, Italy; N:

INEVITABLE
131'0"2000

A
Floridian who had owned a yacht in the 90-foot range admired the lines
of the 127-footer Palmer Johnson Our Way (see no. 146) so much that he
had the yard build him this yacht with similar styling. Her elegant decor,
fashioned by Patrick Knowles Designs, employs mahogany paneling and sapelli
pommele inlays. There's also a bar (with adjoining wine locker)
in the starboard formal entry that doubles as a breakfast bar for the
owner, since it can be closed off from the rest of the yacht and essentially
be made part of the master stateroom. B: Palmer Johnson, USA;
